The Four Seasons of Cancer

[Nancy Priddy - First season]
The Cancer child begins with an inborn need to feel
Nothing escapes him
The Crab who has, as yet, developed no hard outer shell to protect him
Is vulnerable, and fearful that his defenselessness will be apparent
And taken advantage of
In the beginning, his family and his house are his shell
And the sense of this never deserts him
Home will always be the safest place of all
The Moonchild will laugh and cry practically in the same breath
And have a flare for self-dramatizing that may be with him all his life
This is a loving and affectionate child, who will never quite fall out of love with his childhood fantasies, adventures and mementos
Anything that touches him, the Moonchild will carry inside forever

[Michael Bell - Second season]
In his second season, the tenacious Crab slowly lets go of childhood
And moves in broken lines towards his objective
Wary, watchful, ever prepared to seize opportunity
One obstacle stands in the way: his inability to deal with real or imagined hurts and rejections
And his exaggerated personal reactions cause him a loss of objectivity
This can mean that he retreats from a situation prematurely
And for the wrong reason
At this point in his life, the emotions still have the upper hand

[John Erwin - Third season]
In the third season, the Cancer native who has matured
Brings his nature under control
Then the practical instincts of the Crab combined with his incredible retention, imagination, intuition, and tenacity come together
And the battle is won
It is won in the areas of the professions, the arts, the business world
Cancers are adaptable and can be found functioning anywhere
One thing is certain he will be earning what he has and paying his own way

[Nancy Priddy - Fourth season]
In the fourth season, the Crab will walk by the evening sea
His family beside him
They will share the moon and the night air
There will be laughter and warm feelings
And of course, there will be a few tears
But most of all, there will be unlimited memories, and immeasurable love
For Cancer, man and woman alike, to become is to feel
And they know the fulfillment of keeping feelings alive
In a world that tends to turn cold
